Package Itinerary

Dolpo the mystic land, having plenty of Buddhist monasteries, lakes, waterfalls, hot springs, kali Gandaki George and dense forest to Tibetan plateau. Trekking to this area means having totally different experience and it has different culture as well. Dolpo is located inside the Shy-Phoksundo National Park of Midwestern Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan Plateau. Cut off by a series of very high passes, closed by snow most of the year, Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal.

Time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial. The finally preserved Ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and leopard. A trek through Dolpo is an experience not easily forgotten.

This trek reminds ancient trading route from India to Tibet up the Kali Gandaki valley. It gives the introduction of pilgrimage site of Muktinath (3802m). We experience a range of surroundings, from the culture of the lowland villages to the splendor of the high Himalaya. This trek gives many spectacular views of the two Himalayan giants; Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, and gives a flavor of the Tibet-like country north of Jomsom and also known as pilgrim trek for those who go there more to pray Muktinath than for trekking.

This is indeed a classic trek which allows access to the high mountains of the Himalaya within a reasonable time frame and without ascending to extreme altitude. So, these two prominent trekking areas are blended together to mix up Hindu and Buddhist culture together at a time with scenic beauty in the lap of world famous mountains.
